>From Cyndislist: =~=~=~= URL: http://www.gravemappers.blogspot.com/ TITLE: Grave Mappers DESCRIPTION: Grave Mappers is a blog designed to help people create their own interactive cemetery maps at a new website called NAMES IN STONE. At Grave Mappers, we give mapping tips and techniques, and share the stories of people who have mapped cemeteries. We also reach out for help in mapping cemeteries throughout the US and Canada. We support and encourage mapping small obscure cemeteries whose records are not readily available and are deteriorating due to weather and time. Mapping these cemeteries will preserve their records and make them available for research to anyone on the internet. =~=~=~= URL: http://www.namesinstone.com/ TITLE: Names in Stone DESCRIPTION: NAMES IN STONE is an innovative new website that is very different from other cemetery websites ? it is a growing collection of interactive cemetery maps that allows visitors to search a listing of multiple cemeteries, view actual grave locations on a map, and see the record for a deceased person by clicking on the grave. With unique on-line mapping tools, anyone can create an interactive cemetery map and add it to the NAMES IN STONE database. Membership in NAMES IN STONE is free! Members can contribute by inviting local cemeteries to participate, by using the on-line mapping tools to add smaller cemeteries, and by sharing photos and other information with the online community.
one caveat - Names in Stone has a trap, won't allow you to back button if you want to, to get out of site.
